Error message on new version

Oct 14, 2013

Package Status error= The course package was missing an imsmanifest.xml file

I downloaded the free trial of the Articulate 13 suite and prepared 3 small programs to upload to our LMS - Lawson. All 3 programs came back with this error message. I have cleared and republished 2x for each program. Suggestions? Melanie

Hi Melanie and welcome to E-Learning Heroes!

An LMS won't be able to find the imsmanfiest.xml file for a course if it's not at the root level of the zip file.

To correct it, do either of the following:

  • Use the built-in Zip feature on the Publish Successful dialog after you've published your Articulate content. It'll automatically create a well-formed zip file.
  • If you manually zip the output files, make sure to only zip the contents of the output folder, not the folder itself.
